MORE THAN 5,000 K-12 STUDENTS HAVE BEEN IMPACTED ACROSS ALL SUBJECT AREAS AS THEY ARE CHALLENGED TO COMMUNICATE AND SHARE THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF LESSONS LEARNED IN ENGLISH, MATH, SCIENCE, HISTORY, SPECIAL EDUCATION, THE ARTS, AND EVEN PHYSICAL EDUCATION. DIGICOM TEACHER LEADERS HAVE BEEN FUNDED AND SUPPORTED BY DIGICOM TO BEGIN DIGICOM MIDDLE SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS ACROSS THE PALM SPRINGS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. TOGETHER FOUR CLUBS ENGAGE OVER EIGHTY 6TH-8TH GRADERS IN THE PRACTICE OF DIGITAL STORY TELLING. THE DIGICOM AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS HAVE BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN ENGAGING STUDENTS IN A SAFE, COLLABOARTIVE, AND CREATIVE ENVIRONMENT DURING THOSE IMPORTANT FORMATIVE MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS. IN 2015, THE ANNUAL ATTENDANCE AT THE DIGICOM FILM FESTIVAL REACHED OVER 1,000 A YEAR AND THE QUALITY AND NUMBER OF VIDEO SUBMISSIONS DRAMATICALLY INCREASED TO OVER 200.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
